In the tradition of James Hillman,
Thomas Moore, Robert Bly, and Joseph Campbell, one of the greatest
Jungian psychoanalysts of our time tackles one of lifes most
central questions: How do we find real contentment?
Most people believe theyll somehow achieve contentment just
as soon as they get a job, find a more satisfying relationship,
buy a bigger home, retire, or attain some other worldly goal. In
this groundbreaking book Robert A. Johnson and Jerry M. Ruhl show
how to move beyond the inevitable frustrations of this ego-centred
approach to happiness - and find true contentment by opening our
lives to a deeper layer of experience. Through myths, stories, and
fresh Jungian insights, they explain how we can infuse our everyday
lives with a sense of the sacred - and enjoy real, lasting happiness.
